Dynamic Decoupling of Robot Manipulators

This book presents the latest results in the field of dynamic decoupling of robot manipulators obtained in France, Russia, China and Austria.

Manipulator dynamics can be highly coupled and nonlinear. The complicated dynamics result from varying inertia, interactions between the different joints, and nonlinear forces such as Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The dynamic decoupling of robot manipulators allows one to obtain a linear system, i.e. single-input and single output system with cons...
